Ground cover species Area A: None Area B: None Area C: None Area D: Unknown spp Area E: None <strong>Rewanui</strong> Survey – Weeds. Area D: An unidentified plant is spreading down a small slip under some pines and should be targeted for removal before spreading further. Woody/herbaceous shrub and tree species Block A: Elderberry, Pine Block B: Broom Block C: Briar Block D: Pine, Sweet Briar, Tree Lucerne, Cotoneaster, Broom, Barberry Block E: Wattle spp, Pine, Poplar and Willow. Block A. Despite there being two large pine trees and a neighbouring pine plantation no seedlings were located in bush areas. x5 small 6 year old Elderberry plants located high up in Area A and subsequently cut and stump treated. A further 6 large trees are located outside of Area A but within the farm (see map) but seedlings occur in a localised area spreading into fenced off area. Block B. Two small broom bushes were located just inside the new fenceline and we assume they were probably brought in by stock from the large infestation in Area D. (Plants cut and treated) Area C. Apart from a few scattered single plants of Sweet Briar that were located the area is basically weed free with the biggest current threat being the cattle stripping the bark off all the Lacebark (photos attached) Area D. Pine, Tree Lucerne, Willow, and Poplar are all located as scattered trees mostly along the lower stream edge and show no signs of out of their current area. The area of scattered broom is relatively contained at the moment and should be taken out now before spreading further down slope The single Barberry plant should be chainsawed and stump treated
A group of scattered Sweet Briar was located and stump treated. Area E. Pine, Willow, Poplar, Wattle and Tasmanian Blackwood were located in large numbers in the lower eastern area. In other conservation blocks they would be targeted for immediate removal but due to their current importance to slope stability only a few trees of pine on the upper northern slopes where the bush is regenerating well should be targeted immediately. Vines Area A: None Area B: None Area C: None Area D: Convolvulus Area E: None Area D. A few Convolvulus vines were located which should be controlled. Sweet Briar growing out of Coprosma
